I've seen it before. While I completely agree with your opposition to it, in the end, they have freedom of speech rights as well as anyone. As
long as there's no direct threat posed, its perfectly legal.

That said, its also perfectly legal and acceptable to oppose them and their candidate for doing so.

Alot of people tend to look past Che's ties with communism and tend to see him as a "champion of the people". I personally find Che interesting and
have read alot of his books and writings on politics. It is funny that a american politician would have a poster of him in his HQ. Especially with the
way alot of americans feel about communists and communism.
Seriously though, communism isn't something to hate or be scared off it's just a different way. Communism is dead anyway. Fascism on the other
hand.....

When did it become ok for you to judge what people hang in their office space if it dosnt violate any work ethics or regulations...

He may be a jugde but i recon that he do his job ok since i havent heard or seen any complains or threads about this jugde, other than this narrow
minded here...

Best regards

Average citizen? I could care less.

Elected official? You bet it's my business, on the grounds of moral character! Not to mention the fact that this is a judge who was elected in a
country based on the principals of Democracy, not communism. I see his hanging a picture of a champion of communism (and a murderer) to be a huge
conflict with the "work ethic" department.

Im sorry to ruin your day dream, but your country is not any longer builded on the principles of democracy. You call your country´s war in Iraq
fighting for democracy? Its a bloodbath where at least 750.000 civilian has been killed in the name of your democracy. Im sorry to burst your bubble
but your leaders has taken your country beyond democracy and turned it into hypocrisy.

I don't like it, either and no, I do not want people who support that crap leading the country. But the 1st amendment being what it is,
there's really nothing that can be done besides voting against the candidate these people support.

Communism, in theory would be brilliant, but it doesn't end up that way because of the greed and corruption of men.(a bit like religion,democracy and
more)
Even in a "democracy" as some have said we live at the moment (lol) we have no rights and we really don't have an influence on what our politicians
do, so what difference does it make?

I think too many people have been influenced by governments/media/politicians et al that communism is a bad thing, you should try reading up on
communism.

I think that, in most cases, his strongest and most vocal supporters are fully aware of it and, in fact, support it. As I've said all
along, his supporters are playing at least as much of a role as his policies in my decision not to vote for him.

But you're right, I think that the average Dem voter probably doesn't have a clue. Of course, the average Dem voter probably still thinks this
is the party of JFK, a man who is probably rolling in his grave over what the modern party has become.

This is a good way for Obama to lose Florida, The Cuban American community are no lovers of Che, however other folks from Latin America seems to like
Che so that may be why they are using his likeness in other areas of the country.

Communism is a socioeconomic structure that promotes the establishment of a classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means of
production

Communism attempts to offer an alternative to the problems believed to be inherent with capitalist economies and the legacy of imperialism and
nationalism. Communism states that the only way to solve these problems would be for the working class, or proletariat, to replace the wealthy
bourgeoisie, which is currently the ruling class, in order to establish a peaceful, free society, without classes, or government The dominant forms
of communism, such as Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Trotskyism and Luxemburgism, are based on Marxism, but non-Marxist versions of communism (such as
Christian communism and anarchist communism) also exist and are growing in importance since the fall of the Soviet Union.
